Raekwon & Mobb Deep Unite for Historic 30th Anniversary North American Tour

Celebrating “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…” & “The Infamous” — Pure Hip-Hop, One Stage, One Legacy

[Nationwide] – August 13, 2025 – Hip-hop royalty Raekwon (Wu-Tang Clan) and Havoc of Mobb Deep are joining forces for a first-ever co-headlining North American tour, honoring the 30-year legacy of two of the most influential rap albums ever recorded: Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… and Mobb Deep’s The Infamous.

Raekwon and Mobb Deep Announce North American Tour

The 19-city run kicks off November 13, 2025, in Portland, OR, and will hit major cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Brooklyn, Atlanta, and Miami before closing out December 15. Fans can expect one shared set filled with timeless classics, street narratives, and a raw energy that defined 1990s East Coast rap.

Raekwon: “This tour is pure hip-hop at its finest. We’re bringing that authentic feel that inspired a generation—no gimmicks, just the truth.”

Havoc: “It’s about legacy, energy, and giving the people a show they’ll never forget. Without that Purple Tape, the game wouldn’t be the same.”

Beyond the music, this tour is also a heartfelt tribute to the late Prodigy, Havoc’s partner in Mobb Deep, who passed away in 2017. The performances will celebrate his life, artistry, and lasting imprint on hip-hop culture.

The tour comes at a pivotal time—Raekwon recently released his eighth studio album, The Emperor’s New Clothes, and longtime collaborator The Alchemist has teased that new Mobb Deep music may be on the horizon.
